        02:23 Windows 11 is failing right now
        05:20 What's the job of an OS?
        06:51 Updates break systems. Often.
        10:53 You have to adapt to it
        15:14 It's highly intrusive
        17:44 Debloating tools don't make it good
        20:19 Windows fails at being an OS
        21:33 Alternatives are better, but not perfect
        27:23 Windows is a sales platform, not an OS

      • Your Team Wants to Build an AI Feature. Now What?

        Your team wants to build an AI feature, and you're the one who has to figure out how it actually connects to your systems — the data, the security model, the business rules, the execution layer.

        This video walks through the architectural decisions you need to make before writing a single line of agent code, using a real scenario (fulfilling a customer order) to show where the model's job ends and your architecture begins.

          • Floppy Drives Are DEAD (Or Are They?)

            Are floppy drives truly obsolete, or do they still have practical uses in modern computing? In this video, we test a USB 3.5 inch floppy disk drive on modern operating systems to see if vintage magnetic storage still works today, and why some retro hardware, air-gapped security backups, and industrial systems still rely on them.

            Whether you're a retro computing enthusiast, interested in legacy hardware compatibility, or curious about data recovery from old 1.44MB disks, we explore the history, modern setup, file transfer speeds, and surprising use cases for floppy disks today.

            0:00 Intro

            0:41 Why use a floppy disk?

            3:44 Formatting a disk under Linux
            7:41 What is this good for?
